No, more so in the second half and particularly in the last quarter where the Magpies AFL listed players were still running on top of the ground while a lot of the Eagles players didn't have the tanks to go with the Port players, who are lucky enough to be full time footballers and therefore much fitter.

damage was done in the first qtr, we see it time and time again when a team gets behind, give all they have to get back into the game and then get steamrolled at the end because they have nothing left. Let's not jump too early.

Disagree. The Eagles were poor, absolutely but the superior fitness levels (as it was with AFL listed players when distributed amongst all clubs last year and in previous seasons) was clearly on show.

I think it has been posted that the two AFL sides are yet to lose a final quarter this season

Yep 6/6 in last quarters so far, it's going a tad further than just a coincidence.
